IEEE communication society,

Mehran University of Engineering

and Technology organized a won-

drous event held on 22nd and 5th

March 2012 which took place in the

Telecommunication Department.

The event was marvelously success-

ful. Engr. Syed M. Zafi Shehran

Shah fully complemented, acknowl-

edged and promoted the idea under

the support of dean FEECE, Dr. Bha-

wani Shankar Chowdhry providing

the essential facilities to coordina-

tors and student organizers for

making this event happen.

Event started with an eloquent

speech by Moiz Rehman Memon( 08

TL), the chair person of IEEE-MUET

student branch. He formally intro-

duced IEEE Communication Society

( ComSoc) and the procedure to the

participating audience for its mem-

bership. IEEE Communications Soci-

ety (ComSoc) is a leading global

community an international platform

in which academic and student vol-

unteers functioning for the ex-

change of thoughts and ideas of in-

formation on communication and

networking needs.

The guest speakers for the event

were Mr. Orangzaib Rao (09 TL 01)

and Miss Samiya Qureshi (09 TL

18).They presented their tutorial

project in the intellectual environ-

ment. The concept for the project

was to introduce a tutorial to the

beginners of RADAR learners for

instance who wish to learn the basis

of radar engineering systems. This

tutorial was based on the basic con-

ceptual ideas that would lead engi-

neers to evaluate new concepts re-

garding RADAR study and they

would be able to see the world

through a new perspective.

The eye catching point in

the project was that it is based on

MATLAB. MATLAB is very helpful and

rich engineering visualization tool

and easy to cooperate with. The

project could also be implemented

in any other programming lan-

guages and software but MATLAB

provides easiness in programming

especially for TL and ES engineers.

This project would facilitate the

learners of RADAR and users of

graphical user interface environment

of MATLAB.

The aim of the event was to

allow students to have hands on

experience of MATLAB in the field of

telecommunication and electronics.

The audience included students

from various departments of FEECE.

There was an open Q&A’s session

held at end, all the participants were

encouraged to inquire. Outcome of

the events was really spectacular

since the students were benefited

from the entire talk. The feedback

was extremely positive and tilted

towards appreciation. The speakers

proved their abilities and shared

their knowledge of experience. Lat-

er on, the participants were award-

ed shields and certificates in admi-

ration. The event was worth attend-

ing for all participants and audience.

Congratulations to the students of 08ES for

securing second position

in FAST university ISB NaSCon 2012 in category

of Hardware based project

competition held on 20-22 april 2012. Congratulations to the winners:

It’s difficult to decide that whether be-

ing a final year student is fortunate or

unfortunate. Because Final Year describes

that some battle which goes around you

is about to end and obviously life is not so

kind so there will be another battle await-

ing for us to be started but somehow we

are about to end our this journey ,3 years

passed in university seemed as a time it

came and went by flash, I have remem-

bered my very first day when I entered in

class there was a teacher, teaching some-

thing, don’t exactly remember the topic

due to nervousness and fear of ragging

but I liked teacher a lot, the way he was

teaching , dynamic, but I got shocked

when he said I will teach you in 3rd year,

at that time I had desired, the same

teacher may teach us soon and it may

strange to telecom students to know the

teacher name for whom I was desiring for

teaching me even in first term, was none

other than Dr Ahsan Ahmed Ursani , and

finally my desire fulfilled in 3rd year but at

that moment I was thinking why I had

this desire ! In first year where I was run-

ning for position but now in third year

with my most favorite teacher at a

glance, I was just working day and night

to pass the single subject.

The days which amazed me yet, and

think that how all that were happened

especially when few class mates made a

prank with me, they asked very confident

junior to rag me and very sad to tell you

I was actually ragged by him even being

senior, Also that day is memorable when

someone told me I got 7000 R.s/ merit

scholarship though I was not in top 10

but being in 10% strength of department

I got it, that was very first and most

probably last time i was saying Mehran

has good system as I am not really so

kind. Being average preparation for ap-

pearing in test but get binary (0-1) score

hurt us too much similar situation arises

when coming late in class or leaving class

in simple word bunk and when asked to

teacher for attendance then they gave

specific smile , at that instant you cannot

understand what actual mean by this but

all things get clear when you see your

short attendance you actually learn the

lesson for future that don’t go on this

smile the only solution is come on time

buddy, First and second year were enjoy-

able but as entered in 3rd year and we

really meet Telecom department and it

was actually a journey to start with Prom-

inent doctors, On one hand in ruling

houses there are number of people with

fake degrees but on other end our de-

partment Telecom, we have real degree

doctors which surely gives good handling

throughout the session and make realize

us what actually learning is!.

Few moments in class especially when

teacher conducts continuous 2 hour lec-

ture and at ending about to go for attend-

ance, suddenly one hand arises for ques-

tion, better is to avoid discussing what

comments that “star of class” gets at that

time by majority students. Another mo-

ment was also very much wonderful for

students, when during lecture some out-

sider enters in class for making some an-

nouncements, at that moment it looks

like that whole class was just anxiously

waiting for them, though not were inter-

ested in their concerned announcements

but were happy to have some relaxation

from lecture.

The day was full of horror and thrill when

a paper of CCN came in our hand, at ex-

am hall as I received paper I was looking

at it and hoping soon will be announced

that mistakenly paper of M.E has been

provided you instead of B.E, but seriously

telling I was expecting for something un-

certain in Mehran. Some time a stupid

idea comes in my mind to ask Chief Jus-

tice of Pakistan to take somoto action or

inquiring why so many doctors in one

department and also ask them for what

kind of disease are these so many doctors

trying to cure, just kidding Reality is How

to face the challenges of life, Now I better

understand and all these taught my these

teachers, surely this practice would be lot

supportive in our practical life.

Another day when miracle happened,

yeah seriously after long struggle or his-

torical movement finally our first tour

approved in second last year of university

life, we went on tour and made it very

memorable to all specially, first time saw

fellows and our beloved teachers in differ-

ent mode also I got chance to discuss on

number of matters with my teachers oth-

er than study, never going to tell you

what were those matters but simply a

most memorable event. Although I have

very short time remained, more to spend

in university but honestly speaking this is

that stage of life which is impossible to

forget until my last breath goes on, I will

miss them all.

Background: Last year Electronics department

organized MESPEC’11, which showcased a huge va-

riety of hardware and software projects. The pro-

jects covered almost all fields of electronics engi-

neering. MESPEC’11 brought out the technical side

of the participants and also provided the junior

batches to learn and understand the technology

trends.

Theme: Continuing with last year’s tradition

MESPEC’12 will be held in the Department of Elec-

tronic Engineering. This will provide the electronic

students an opportunity to show their practical skills

in the field of project making. Students will have

exposure of their talent and they can be guided fur-

ther to improve their performance by our evalua-

tors/ visitors. This exhibition will create sense of

competition among junior batches as well. Junior

batches will also be encouraged to participate in

these competitions. Primary reason to hold this

competition is to prepare our students to represent

their university at national/international level exhibi-

tions/competitions. The competition will be held in

the 19thApril 2012.

It is said that, “Ships in harbor are safe but that's not what ships are built for”. In order to challenge the students of Karachi and other cities of country, A group of students from Mehran Univer-sity decides to participate in the event

called Fastech-2012, ,which consisted of 11 competitions, organized at FAST-NU, Karachi campus on 23rd January, fortunately I was also one of them who stretched out their ships from harbor and takes the participation. Upon reaching the event, we got couple of surprises, as we asked event manage-ment about our registration at event day but initially they refused to have any such team participating in the event, showed very rude behavior upon

knowing that we are from Jamshoro. Certainly it was very shocking for us but after fine debate they finally al-lowed us to participate. 5 teams took part in the said event i.e. 3 for Logic Quiz and each one for Mobile Applica-tion and Software Competition. Being a Mehranian, It was a very proud mo-ment that all three teams participated in the Logic Quiz and all of three quali-fied for final round after defeating teams from NUST,FAST,KU,NED and

other universities. The moment of the day was when the same organizer of event who were not allowing us in event came to know this reality, the expressions on his face was quite nota-ble as it was just clean sweep by mehranians. Now the time had come the real competition begins among mehranians, three teams named Tele-fever (Ahmed Hasan,Rumsha Ansa-ri,Rida Khan),Super-9(Sheriyar Ah-

med,Sara Abbasi,Saveeta Ramnani) and my team Technlogix-09(Sarang Shaikh,Shafique Rehman,Shahid Hussain).Though we all were happy on reaching in final round but everybody got more anxious and nervous as Sir Saad and Mehran also announced Spe-cial Treat for winner among us. During the entire competition, in every round both teachers motivated us a lot there-

fore our desire to win this time also increased. Finally after ending of dra-matic final round which also gave

spectacular results as competition went much closed but ended on 1st victo-ry of Tele-Fever Group while my team and other team were tied on 2nd position. But honestly speaking being a runners up, At that time I just

remembered the dialogues of movie 3-Idiots and experi-enced human behavior, that if a friend fails, it hurts but if a friend triumphs, it hurts more. While all this was going in my mind suddenly good news came in that one more mehranin, Hira Noreen secured 1st position in Mobile Applica-tion Development event, while remain-ing one team Fantastic (Rao Orang-zaib,Ali Raza,Samiya Qureshi) though could not succeed to secure any rank

but got appreciation and good remarks on their software based project, which made us just crazy to run and we cheered out. Now it was the a time to face another reality which was preju-dice attitude of Fastech’12 administra-tion that neither certificates nor shields were provided to us and argument that you registered very late so we cannot do anything at all. I think that day was learning and experiencing for me as for

the first time i saw the rebellious atti-tude of our two young teachers who were fighting for our right against this injustice of Fastech’12 organizers, though we were quite at that time in respect of our teachers but we all were whispering slogans, “SAADA HAQ ITHE R A K H ” . Finally I must say the whole day was full of drama, sensation and thrill, un-

expected clean sweep and victories of mehranian, Bad management by Or-ganizers of event and last but not least cold coffee by Sir Mehran and Sir Saad were the headlines of day to us. This event also made us realized the im-portance and great role of our universi-ty Organizers of MUST, that how suc-cessfully they organized events. At last I must say there should also be more sailors to stretch out their ships

and enter in such sort of events which actually teaches us to face the storms of life and helps interaction between students from jamshoro and other uni-versities easier. This correspondence between universities should also in-crease so that we may learn from suc-cess and failures of each other and can eliminate the bias attitude forever.

Following the distinctive success of IMTIC '08, IMTIC '12

continued its tradition in Education Hub of Pakistan in the

form of International Multi-Topic Conference 2012 that was

held from 28th-30th March 2012 in Mehran UET, Jamshoro.

IMTIC '12 aimed to bring together a wide spectrum of inter-

national experts to facilitate a creative environment for the

promotion of collaboration and knowledge transfer. Particu-

larly, it facilitated a dialogue between major industry play-

ers, entrepreneurs and academia to help create a roadmap

for the development of tangible research environment in the

country.

This 3 day International conference covered all the technolo-

gy related topics. People from all over the world were invited

to present their research papers and keynote speakers from

different parts of the globe joined with their speeches. Apart from that, separate tutorials on different topics were inducted so

as to help students acquire latest knowledge in various fields. A research poster design based competition was also established

for keen students, which was also appreciated.

The necessity of this conference was felt during years following the great success of IMTIC’08. It was the urge of constituting a

better learning environment, providing students and teachers with an even better platform of research in different fields of

technology that made IMTIC’12 become a reality, which took months of preparation and lots of hard work to make this better

and grandiose than ever before.

The Conference consisted of five main parts; Paper Presen-

tation, Tutorials session, Keynote Speeches, Poster sessions

and PhD consortium. Each of which was held in parallel at

the Auditorium and Central Library.

This conference paper presentation provided platform for

students and professionals to present and publish their re-

search work, whereas tutorials session provided lectures on

topics which included Cloud Computing, Network planning &

designing aspects in future broadband Networks, with the

motivation of keynote speeches by some renowned person-

alities of the world in educational cum technological sector.

Whereas, poster session was based on the concept of pre-

senting posters in a research pattern, the best of which were

given prizes. The program also included Doctoral Consorti-

um. The goal of Doctoral Consortium was to give an oppor-

tunity to the PhD students to present their research goals and the advances made so far in their research.

In addition to the Conference’s technical program and poster session, the conference included inauguration of its detailed con-

ference book named “Emerging Trends and Applications in Information Communication Technologies” published by Springer,

Germany.
